Droplet create, resize and other management operations are working. Kubernetes (DOKS) control planes are reachable. Our teams are continuing to work with the facility to restore all equipment. GPU Droplets in MKC1 remain offline or unreachable. DOKS GPU worker nodes may remain NotReady, and GPU-backed inference endpoints in this region may be unavailable. We will monitor the regional control plane for a short time and then resolve this

What to do next
- Verify your own services recovered cleanly. Some upstream outages leave queues or caches in a degraded state, run smoke tests before declaring green internally.
- Save the post-mortem. Vendors usually publish a detailed RCA 1-3 days later. We'll add it to this page when it appears.
- Watch the provider going forward. Follow DigitalOcean's status feed →
GlobalOutageMap aggregates publicly reported signals. We never claim authoritative status, always cross-check the provider's official channel before making business decisions.
